Evolent Health is potentially being taken private at a bid of $3.8 billion, offering a 15% upside to the stock at $32 per share. The company's revenue growth rates are expected to decelerate, but potential bidding wars may drive up the stock price further. Evolent's current valuation at 21x forward free cash flow may undervalue the company, potentially leading to higher bids in the future.
Evolent Health is in talks with private equity firms and other companies for a potential sale, in a process that kicked off after the healthcare services provider received inbound interest, people familiar with the matter said on Thursday.
